It’s hard to believe that the first 2 months of the year are in the book and we are already into March. We are only 4 days into March, but like just about everyone else out there, I am hoping that March is a lot different than February because I am sick and tired of shoveling snow and dealing with this cold weather.

Goodbye Snow, Hello Championships!
Thursday, March 4th, 2010March: A Month to Celebrate!
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010I love March! March = spring, beautiful weather, blooming daffodils, birthdays, anniversaries, and warmer days.
Let me list just a few reasons I am so happy to turn my desk calendar to March~
Professional to Scholastic, Kristy Loves Her Basketball!
Saturday, February 27th, 2010
Basketball season is just about over. I can honestly say it is my favorite sport! From our famous Cleveland Cavaliers to my children playing in our local school district, I get so much joy watching it.
Last week, I went to watch our Cleveland Cavs play the Denver Nuggets. They ended up losing in overtime – after a 13 game winning streak. They didn’t go down without a fight; it was a great game. We had so much fun! Thank you, Cindy!

Hello, and Happy Friday!
Can you believe it’s going to be MARCH next Monday?! Seriously guys, this year is just flying by! My nephew is about to be 2 whole weeks old! It blows my mind.
If you know anything about my family, it’s that we are very close and that we love games. I don’t know if there is any month during the year that the whole gang doesn’t get together, and it’s so awesome. I wouldn’t trade it for a thing in the world!
Birthday Blizzard!
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Today the sun is shining. That is a good thing because the snow has been falling a lot in Ohio.
February has always been a snowy time in Ohio. When I was three, my mom and dad had a birthday party for me that my relatives almost got snowed in at our house. My mom always said we had a blizzard on my birthday.
A Different Kind of Blog…
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010A little while ago, I came across a fascinating blog post. The author briefly discussed a trend (back-in-the-day) among writers/authors to sum up their lives, or in other words, to write their memoir, using only six words.
Here are a few examples she cited, or I came across:
“For Sale: baby shoes, never worn”

Green Is the New Black
Saturday, February 20th, 2010
There are a lot of new buzz words floating around these days, both in industry and the private sector. Moving speedily to the top of the list is “green.”
In business, in particular, green used to mean one thing: the almighty dollar. Today, though, green has become something very different, and yet not. These days, operating in the green is quickly becoming every bit as important as operating in the black. However, many businesses are facing the challenge of accomplishing both of these goals at once when, under certain conditions, these two ends seem mutually exclusive.
So, how does a business succeed economically and environmentally?
What an Exciting Week!

Hello, and Happy Friday!
What an amazing week!
Last Friday, I left for Columbus for the weekend with my Mom, her husband, and my cousin. Saturday afternoon, my cousin and I left to come home to make sure we could dance at the Paczki Ball! About halfway home, my brother called me and told me that he was at the hospital with his wife, and that she was in labor!!Of course, we had to turn around to go pick up my mom.
Fighting Cabin Fever!
Thursday, February 18th, 2010On February 5, when we were expecting the big snow storm, I never imagined that 2 weeks later the snow we got from that storm would just be the base of the snow we would have today.
The Cost of Convenience
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!
I went grocery shopping last night and came to the conclusion that I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING! Have you ever thought about how many times you handle your groceries before they come to rest in your pantry? I counted and came up with SEVEN! Yes – I touched that box of cereal seven times before I closed my pantry door.
